I believe in the principle of Due Process |
Townhall.com John Hawkins May 13, 2017 “Civilization has been aptly called a ‘thin crust over a volcano.’ (Liberals) are constantly picking at that crust.” -- Thomas Sowell After Hollywood jackass Jimmy Kimmel was criticized for exploiting his son’s illness to push his political agenda and incorrectly insinuating that surgeries for newborns weren’t covered before Obamacare, he did a follow-up on the subject where he said, “I would like to apologize for saying that children in America should have health care. It was insensitive, it was offensive, and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.” Drop dead, Jimmy Kimmel, you colossal ass. This is a great example of what may be the most annoying, dishonest thing that liberals habitually do. Jimmy Kimmel favors a certain political policy. It’s one that has been a disaster for tens of millions of Americans, including a lot of children. Jimmy Kimmel could have said, “Obamacare may not be perfect and it may have been sold with a lot of lies, but I believe it’s worth it for everyone else to pay more so the small percentage of the population with pre-existing conditions and no insurance can be covered.” That pitch may not be a political winner, but at least it would be an honest argument. Instead, Kimmel is essentially arguing that ONLY people who agree with him care about the healthcare of children and the rest of us want children to die. This sort of rhetoric has become commonplace on the Left and it’s not just dishonest, it’s evil. It’s bad for the country. It could even potentially split the country apart one day because we won’t be able to continue to live with each other. In fact, we’ve already reached the point where California’s threats to secede are being met with cries of “faster please, what can we do to help?” from millions of conservatives. Yes, it may currently give liberals some small temporary political advantage to claim that everyone who doesn’t support gay marriage hates gays, everyone who doesn’t think rape culture exists supports rape, that everyone who doesn’t back free birth control for women hates them, everyone who wants to stop illegal immigration hates Latinos and that everyone who doesn’t want to tear down Confederate statues hates black Americans, but it also injects pure poison into our culture. If you believe someone doesn’t want kids to have healthcare, hates gays, hates women, hates minorities and wants more rapes to happen, you will probably detest that person. However, liberals seldom consider that the reverse of this is also true. You will also probably detest people who falsely accuse you of not wanting kids to have healthcare, hating gays, hating women, hating minorities and wanting more rapes to happen. In the Palestinian territories or Syria, there might be significant numbers of people who believe many of those aforementioned beliefs. In America, there are very few. What this means is that there are large numbers of people liberals have inspired hatred towards via falsehoods and also large numbers of people who’ve grown to abhor liberals after being targeted by their lies. Put another way, liberals are CREATING an America where it’s natural to HATE people of differing political views. Not disagree with, HATE. My initial reaction to hearing Jimmy Kimmel’s, I would like to apologize for saying that children in America should have health care,” comment was thinking that I’d enjoy punching him in his smug face.I have no doubt that vast numbers of people that liberals dishonestly call racists, misogynists and homophobes feel exactly the same way. Of course, it’s one thing to feel that way and it’s another to actually do it or suggest others do it as many liberals do. We have left-wingers rioting in the streets to stop people they disagree with from speaking at colleges and publicly encouraging each other to physically attack Nazis, while accusing pretty much everyone who doesn’t toe the liberal line of being a Nazi. We’ve gotten to the point where someone as inoffensive as Betsy DeVos can’t even give a commencement speech at Bethune-Cookman University without gaggles of idiots screaming and booing. If those liberals can’t even show a modicum of courtesy for Betsy DeVos at a commencement speech, how do they work with people they disagree with? How do they go to church with them? How do they date? How do they share the same space? If the answer is, “They can’t do any of those things,” then how do we ultimately share the same country? I have a left-wing acquaintance who is still endlessly complaining about Hillary Clinton getting coverage from the very liberal mainstream media that was too negative for his taste. When I noted that Hillary may have gotten some harsh coverage at times, but Trump’s coverage was much worse, I was told in so many words that, “Yes, but Trump deserved it.” Similarly, have you noticed that liberals don’t seem to accept and respect the fact that conservatives found Obama just as loathsome as they find Trump? It’s the liberal mentality that says, “People who disagree with us on anything are racist, sexist, homophobic and evil. Therefore, we don’t have to treat them fairly. Therefore, their concerns are irrelevant. Therefore, it’s acceptable to lie about them, take away their rights or even use the IRS or legal system to mistreat them. Therefore, they don’t matter. At all.” I loathe liberalism, but I don’t hate liberals. I would not be okay with lying about them, preventing them from speaking at universities or attacking them because of their political views. I think a lot of liberals are deeply misguided and put their emotions above logic and the good of the country, but I don’t think most of them are evil. Unfortunately, many liberals don’t afford conservatives that same courtesy and one day, that may split the country because what brings us together as a nation is becoming smaller than the liberal hatred that is dividing us. Link Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | ||

If and when this country has another civil war Liberalism and Progressivism will be to blame. Thankfully they will lose.....badly. I was visciously attacked with a profanity laced dissertation simply because I commented "hhahahhaa" at a liberal consipiracy theory about Trump on McLame's Facebook page. She also was triggered by profile pic which was Kim Jong Il smiling and wearing a red MAGA hat. I nuked her and when she blocked me my friends continued trolling he everlasting fuck out of her in the comments section of my own wall. Yeah, she was so triggered that she went to my own wall/posts and found a meme making fun of how Trump is confusing liberals and spewed her garbage. Liberals dish it out but can't take it when you throw it in their face. Fuck em all. Getting a rise out of liberals and pissing them off is actually pretty fun. It's a shame they get an erection from banning and censoring people....I was having fun with her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

I think they're already fighting it. We're losing. Badly. They have the majority of the schools, K-12 & Universities (even most the private ones). They have the majority of public offices (especially appointed ones). Even in conservative states, who mans the welfare, child services, motor vehicle, and other offices? What political persuasion do social workers tend to be? I think we've lost. I'm a sucker for lost causes though...and I never give up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The trouble with our Liberal friends...is not that they're ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so."

Well... lot's of people on our side are waking up and figuring out that we have ceded control of the institutions, beginning with education. Once you concede that education is a "right" and should be guaranteed by the state, why not healthcare? I think many people are starting to figure out where socialism leads and that you can't have "just a little" socialism. It infects the mind and corrupts the soul. But we have begun fighting back. We've been giving in for so long that it's going to be nasty for awhile. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit.

Conservative Behind Enemy Lines |
My son will "graduate" from UC San Francisco next week. He said triumphantly to me yesterday, "Two more classes, and I'll never have to go back to the asylum ever again!" He has discussed the utter idiocy of his experience at the "asylum" many times over dinner, and it is truly amazing how dumb the faculty at that so-called school is! It's really incredible - I could write a very long post just discussing how childish and out of touch with reality those poor dumb fools are. But, here's the positive: The majority of the students are very similar to my son! They regurgitate what they know the teachers want to hear, but they're not really buying it. They clearly see how stupid and immature the faculty is; they clearly see that once they enter the real world, it will be a completely different environment than the fantasy land the university is. I have hope. I believe tomorrow's executives are going to be much more conservative than today's crop of fools. I believe the poor, mindless idiots who are actually being duped by their professors are going to be tomorrow's "homeless." The pundits on youtube who are getting the highest ratings are the young conservatives. I believe this is because the intelligent young people are seeing the folly of liberalism, and are enjoying the likes of Steven Crowder because his product is appealing to young people, entertaining, logical, and contrary to their parents' stupid liberal beliefs. Color me cautiously optimistic. | |||

Liberals can't be honest and they can't be serious. Once you begin to lead them down the Socratic path to the truth, they go into deception mode, offensive mode or silly mode. Even if the truth could be waded up and jammed down their throats, they'd rather choke on it than swallow it. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

I agree with the basic assertion that Liberals are promoting hate, essentially projecting the evil they represent onto others. No secret there. However, we have not lost. This is so extreme that many are questioning - almost as if waking up...that is a key part of what delivered us from the Hag in November. My 15 year old daughter is at Florida Atlantic University on a dual enrollment (high school and college). She makes fun of her classmates and tells me that the ones that are passing and doing good work are "the sane ones, nice people". The ones failing are "crazy and lazy and nothing but excuses". The problem is self correcting to a degree because all those snowflakes will have to live in a darwinian world. And people like my daughter and the folks on this board will win every time. I agree the problem is like nothing I've ever seen - but then again I was not in college in the Vietnam war period. My dad was after 6 years in the Navy and his comments sound a lot like my daughters... “Forigive your enemy, but remember the bastard’s name.” -Scottish proverb | |||

As far as have been able to discover, the term "politically correct" originated at Brown University in the '80s, as a term to describe the political and cultural opinions the faculty favored and that one should pay lip service to in class. Yes, a lot of students do buy in, and believe this shit. But a whole lot do not. And -- we lost? That's why we have President Hillary Clinton, because we lost? However things turn out with Donald Trump, one thing is for absolutely sure: We won. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

Conservative in Nor Cal constantly swimming up stream |
I was talking with my Nephew today about his graduation ceremony from the UCLA Law School on Saturday. I told him that it was painful to listen to the speeches. He told me he was so happy to be done with the liberal bullshit he's had to endure. He's excited to go to work for a conservative law firm in the real world. Yes , he already has a great job. ----------------------------------- Get your guns b4 the Dems take them away Sig P-229 Sig P-220 Combat | |||
